Questions and Answers
What is the primary function of the Golgi apparatus in relation to the endoplasmic reticulum?
What is the primary function of the Golgi apparatus in relation to the endoplasmic reticulum?
- The Golgi apparatus provides additional processing and concentration of substances already formed in the endoplasmic reticulum. (correct)
- The Golgi apparatus synthesizes proteins that were formed in the endoplasmic reticulum.
- The Golgi apparatus breaks down and recycles the secretions from the endoplasmic reticulum.
- The Golgi apparatus transports proteins directly to the cell membrane, bypassing the endoplasmic reticulum.
What is a key role of the Golgi apparatus in the synthesis of large carbohydrate polymers?
What is a key role of the Golgi apparatus in the synthesis of large carbohydrate polymers?
- The Golgi apparatus packages large carbohydrate polymers into vesicles for storage within the cell.
- The Golgi apparatus transports large carbohydrate polymers directly to the cell membrane for secretion.
- The Golgi apparatus breaks down large carbohydrate polymers into smaller units that can then be exported from the cell.
- The Golgi apparatus can synthesize large carbohydrate polymers that cannot be formed in the endoplasmic reticulum. (correct)
What is the primary fate of the vesicles formed by the Golgi apparatus in a highly secretory cell?
What is the primary fate of the vesicles formed by the Golgi apparatus in a highly secretory cell?
- The vesicles fuse with lysosomes to break down their contents.
- The vesicles transport their contents to the nucleus for further processing.
- The vesicles first diffuse to the cell membrane, then fuse with it and release their contents to the exterior by exocytosis. (correct)
- The vesicles diffuse throughout the cell and release their contents into the cytoplasm.
